What reading level is Spain And the War With Morocco book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Volunteers enrol themselves in all directions, and private subscriptions flow in on a scale that has never before been known. The city of Barcelona offers to supply a battalion of 700 men, a brigade of mules and everything necessary for a hospital ; the princely Duke of Osuna undertakes to raise and equip at his own expense a battalion of 700 men, and to main- 12 tain them until the conclusion of the war, and many other private individuals have offered to do the same with a smaller number. Manz...anedo, a Madrid capitalist, besides equipping- and maintaining- 100 men, lends the sum of 20, 000 to the treasury without interest for the same period, whilst a bank at Barcelona supplies, on the same terms, the sum of 50, 000, and the Basque provinces 40, 000 and 3000 soldiers.
The Queen herself mag-nanimously proposes that if money be wanted her private lands and her jewels should be sold : " if it be necessary, " she is said to have exclaimed at the last Council of Ministers which preceded the declaration of war, " let all the " expenses of my palace be diminished, a simple " ribbon will become me better than diamond neck- e( laces, if my jewels can supply the means of restor- " ing- the fame of my country I" Ladies volunteer their services for the hospitals, the clergy unanimously refuse the exemption from the war- tax which was proposed in the law pre- sented to the Cortes, employes give up their pay to the Government for the time that the war may last, and lastly (perhaps this is not the least curious illus- tration of the complete unanimity throug-hout the country) the Spanish papers announce that the cele- Ire matadoryGucharea* has contributed larg-e numbers * The answer of this man to an inquiry whether he would give his services gratuitously in a bull-fight to be held at Seville, in aid of the fund for the relief of the wounded, was characteristic.
